Phil97SVT makes a nice one we have used before, or for my vert I just made it myself a couple of years ago, but his comes with a harness extender etc.

Make your own! I did and it was pretty easy. Cost about $30 in material and took about 4 hours to make. Pics below:

I love that look, Very nice!!

I road race my car, but thinking of winter projects now that season is over, and although I generally do functional stuff, I am thinking about a few appearance mods and noticed the Katech relocation kit. Don't want to spend that kind of money though. Where are the coils, can you post more pics.

Passenger side is behind the battery, and driver side is in the fender. Phil had some pics of the install, you may want to contact him or do a search. Willyfastz installed mine, and I think he has pics. Good luck!
